“CRICKY MATE LOOK AT THIS GIRL AIN’T SHE SOMETHIN’?! AIN’T NATURE AMAZIN’?!”

Imagine if more Australians gave a shit about their unique country instead of just trying to be America JR and bulldozing it all down.

      Doxxing myself here, but I spent my life ages 2-18 in New Zealand, so I have a Kiwi accent

      Well I have picked up a little Aussie twang after living here for over a decade, but still.

      Fush and chups.

      I have a love/hate relationship with Australia, love the nature, love the first nations people, love medicare. Hate that most of the people here are destroying that all for the sake of imperialism. The vast majority of Australians don’t even know their own country. Like most Aussies don’t even know anything about our unique edible plants, or our native bee honey or anything. We had giant gumtrees, the last of which was illegally cut down by a development company in the 2010s, nobody knows or cares. We bulldoze our koalas for mulch factorys and rental complexs and nobody cares. They have this whole unique identity we ignore to chase this weird American cowboys and McDonalds shit instead.

      New Zealand has the same problem, but at least the Maori have managed to keep a tiny, tiny bit of power and have saved NZ from being a total shitheap US vassel like Aussieland. New Zealand has a bunch of bougie farmers with too much money and power, but juuust enough sovereignty from total 5 eyes bullshit that we haven’t completely ruined everything quite yet.
